Update on my new rescue, CHESTER!!

For those who didn't see my thread on my new rescue;

This is Chester. Notice he is on my bed now.


Took him to the vets last night and he was such a goood boy. He had a complete check-up, his first set of shots and a blood test for Feline Aids/Leukemia. His mouth is just fine. He just has some very tiny teeth in the front. The vet said he is about 1 year old, weighs 8 lbs and all in all looks very healthy. He is a small boy that's for sure, compared to my guys.
Stool sample was negative and most importantly the blood tests were negative. He will be neutered on September 7th.

He isn't crazy about seeing my guys at the door window. There is much growling and hissing on his part. I have a feeling this one will not be easy to introduce.

There is just one small problem with him though. He likes to lay across your neck with the side of his face right up against the side of your chin. I can only take about 5 minutes of this as I feel like I am suffocating. He is quite the lovebug, that's for sure.

Aaaawww- he must have an Abyssinian granddad if he does the furcollar thing
Isn't that too sweet?

So glad he is ok healthwise

I'm glad his check-up was good!

What a sweetheart! Yay for Chester, his exam went well!!

I'm sure he is trying to thank you by cuddling up so close. I wish my guys would do that.

Give him some head bumpies for me.

[Kalei]

Aw, he has the sweetest face,I just can't get over those beautiful eyes!

Hello Chester, you can cuddle up to my face all you want I love cats that cuddle right close.

I'm so glad to see that Chester is doing great and loving life

He he, Oh Chester, and here I thought only Sparkle did the fur collar routine! Yup it IS warm, especially this time of year. I do enjoy cuddling with her and I will slowly shift her down a bit as we snuggle and I pet and chatter to her. Most times she doesn't mind. When she does, she just wiggles back up and we start again! There's NO winning this battle with a cat, you know!

[jenluckenbach]

OH MY!!! He can come sleep on my face for as long as he wants.

I'm so glad that he received a clean bill of health. It sounds like he's starving for affection. I hope he'll be able to find his new loving forever home soon.

So glad Chester is feeeling good and his check up went great. He sounds like one lovable kitty, thats for sure. Big hugs and kisses to Chester and headbumpies from Snow and Angel.

He looks as though he finds your bed quite acceptable accommodation! He really is a lovely cat.

[moosmom]

Chester is beautiful!!! I love his golden eyes.

[critter crazy]

Yay for chester!! Chester you are such a hndsome boy, and it is so great to hear you are healthy as well!!

[jazzcat]

Glad he is healthy!

Sounds like a real sweetheart too. Maybe Lindy Lou can be the one to help break him in.

[rg_girlca]

He is a sweetheart Lori, that's for sure.

He doesn't hiss or growl so much at the boys when they are looking through the window of the door. The other day, I held the door open just a crack, enough for Nugget to stick his paw through and Chester swatted at his paw and spat.
Today, I did the same thing, but with Lindy Lou and Nugget and he was much better. I just kept petting Chester and telling him it was okay and what a good boy he is. Maybe once he doesn't feel threatened and is neutered he will calm down more.

I think because he was attacked a few times by two of the males on my street that he is very defensive right now. I know this intro will take much longer than the others did.
